Lots of monitoring.............

The week before Ava arrived I spent lots of time at the Dr.'s office on the monitor. Ava's movements had slowed down considerably. It seemed like every day I was counting fetal movements several times a day and having to try all the tricks to get this little girl to move.....orange juice and laying on my left side etc.

I was supposed to be induced on the 5th at McKay Dee Hospital, but after a mix up at that hospital they tried to push my induction date to the 7th. Neither my midwife or Lucas and I were comfortable waiting a couple more days due to Ava's inadequate movement so we decided to deliver at a different hospital (Davis Hospital).

Here is a picture September 5th at 6:30 am just before we left for the hospital.
